What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

littlemanpoet · 05-06-2005, 06:15 PM

People who threaten me with dire threats of unknowable doom.

mormegil · 05-06-2005, 06:28 PM

Patients who come to the Emergency Room for trivial things who don't have insurance or government funded patients who treat the ER as a Dr's clinic.

Probably doesn't happen on the island across the pond.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 05-06-2005, 11:36 PM

Nurses who know nothing about your medical history that, when you are in the ER having an asthma attack, first ask you to rate your pain on a scale of 1-10, and then, after you've sat in an antiseptic smelling room for hours because not being able to breathe doesn't really *hurt*, finally admit you and then proceed to ask you to breathe deeply while they check all sorts of vital (but not really, given the circumstances) stats.

That entire scenario is welcome to inhabit every hospital in Mordor.

Also, guys who think that just because you are attractive means that you're a *****. They can burn in Mordor. I officially assign them.

Bêthberry · 05-07-2005, 06:00 AM

Well, I, for one, am extremely loathe to assign anything or anyone to Mordor. It's a nasssty place and how am I to know of someone's private disposition? And of their chances for repentance or something?

How about Dol Guldur though?

tar-ancalime · 05-07-2005, 08:55 AM

Well, for the most part I'm with Bethberry--for example, I have yet to see a vegetable on this thread that I don't like!

But there is one group of people whom I would banish: all the people who, on hearing about my new job (which will entail a major relocation), immediately ask me in an accusing voice what my husband is going to do. If the genders were reversed, wouldn't the first question likely be, Are you excited? Or perhaps, However did you hear about this position? Or the ever-popular, Congratulations! Not an immediate, insulting implication that a fantastic opportunity for me is not reason enough for both of us to move away.

Mithalwen · 05-07-2005, 10:47 AM

Oh I am off to Mordor on the vote thing - I do believe you should register your vote even if you do not cast it since not to do so is an insult to those who fought and died trying to obtain suffrage. Many women in the world still do not have the right to vote. And I had to wait till I was 26 to cast my vote in person in a general election

......

And since this brit regards "bird" as a totally unacceptable way of referring to a woman - I didn't make that mistake

Formendacil · 05-07-2005, 11:19 AM

People who go up to you at work and ask "Do you work here?"

People who come in to the library at the same time of the same day, every week, and look at the same books, which are then left around to be picked up and reshelved for them to come in and look at in a week's time.

Kids/teens who come in to the library for something like eight hours a week to go on the computers and play the SAME internet game each time. Get a life, people! No wonder obesity is on the rise. Internet use I can understand, eight hours I can understand (easily), but on the SAME game in the PUBLIC LIBRARY????

Lawnmowing: it's pointless. It never stops.

Anguirel · 05-10-2005, 10:11 AM

I'm also going to Mordor over the vote. There's the Emily-Davison-in-front-of-the-King's-horse angle, and the oh-my-God-40%-that-could-have-mangled-Blair-has-been-wasted angle. Both seem pretty convincing to me. And the BNP are Uruk-Hai, so they're there in any case...

Elonve · 05-30-2005, 11:45 PM

People who cut Q's! Can't you wait your turn??

Pervs! get a life!

Dentists...ugly vile evil...inhumane creatures!

when you are waiting for the doctor to see you and they break for Coffee! cant the caffine wait??

I.B exams!

Republicans,(i.e. George W. Bush)

Bible thumpers

cheerleaders and jocks

VECTORS and ALGEBRA!

Boredom, quite simply. Like, the total boredom where you somehow can't even motivate yourself to do...anything. Yet doing nothing is quite surely going to drive you insane. So everything becomes a chore, and you'd somehow just rather sit there browsing nothing on the internet without any real interest rather than do something....productive.

...and yes, I am on my holidays. Verily, boredom is an enemy I am getting to know very well

And also, of course, the official font of Mordor: Comic Sans. Can you imagine arriving at Mordor and seeing the huge, fiery sign cheerfully informing you in those infuriatingly bubbly letters 'Welcome to Mordor!'. *Shudders* Like being licked to death by a puppy...or a siamese cat for that matter....

solarisa · 07-30-2005, 02:23 PM

wha?!!! whats siamese cats got to do with mordor??!!! ...

Arod · 08-20-2005, 02:46 PM

People who throw their trash on the ground or leave it on a picnic table in a public area when there is a trash can 15 feet away. There is no excuse really. It's simply laziness.

Enedhilion · 02-10-2006, 08:18 AM

I assign Ignorant people to Mordor.
Dislike 'em.

ninja91 · 05-19-2006, 11:51 AM

I assign people who did not watch LOTR all the way through because they thought it was "boring". they can all burn in mordor. muwahahahahaha!

Nogrod · 09-26-2006, 09:37 AM

These people who try to infiltrate the forums with their adds on iPods and other equipment...

Manwathiel · 02-09-2008, 08:11 AM

He may already be in there but...
I'd like to put Piers Morgon in Mordor!

MCRmyGirl4eva · 05-02-2012, 09:14 AM

Fans of any Disney Star (Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, etc.)

The Disney Stars themselves

Bad pro wrestlers (Like CM Punk: Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, and Edge are safe.)

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga fans

My sister (love ya, K!)

My aunt's church (There's religion, then there's overkill. You don't need to go 3 times a week!)

All Math teachers. Geometry sucks.

My freshman year science teacher. (If I knew what to do next, I wouldn't ask for help. Standing there saying "OK, you've done this and this, what do you do next" isn't going to help!)

I like vegtables... don't send them to Mordor. Send Feta cheese instead...

Vardamir Nólimon · 06-12-2012, 11:23 AM

Those people that saw Star Trek (2009) for Chris Pine, LOTR for Orlando Bloom, or any other amazing movie simply because they wanted to swoon over an actor. Especially if they take up space at a midnight showing. If you're going to do that, rent the movie later and stop wasting our time.
Also, people that post infactual information in public places, people with terriable grammar that don't bother to check it. This is both online and in speaking.
I have to agree with Galadriel55. I love exams.

Lollipop010900 · 07-17-2012, 12:54 AM

What shall i assign to Mordor...
Hmmm lets see...

My evil 8 year old sister,
My mother's stupid dog who sleeps on my bed,
All those idiots who don't read Lord of the Rings,
All those idiots who don't watch Lord of the Rings,

Hmmm...
There had better be a lot of space in Mordor...

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-07-2005, 10:54 AM

Intolerant people who would assign minor irritations to the most miserable, dangerous and evil place in the world without a moment's thought ...

Happily, though, having assigned me to Mordor, it seems that people are now sending some of my favourite things there. So maybe it's not so bad after all.

littlemanpoet · 05-07-2005, 11:13 AM

Yes, I find it somewhat affrighting
by the speed most blighting
with which various among us Dead
do find ourselves so led
as to "swat a fly toward Mordor".
But if Tolkien will deplore
a Siamese Cat,
are flies better than that?

What else did Tolkien so deplore
as to assign to Mordor?

I very much concur with this perspective. Remember your Gandalf:

Ibrîniðilpathânezel · 04-17-2010, 05:59 PM

I definitely assign your doctor's nurse leaving a message on your answering machine four days after you've had a mammogram, and all it says is, "call me back" -- this late on a Friday afternoon, so you can't call back until Monday, and you know that last year, they left a message that said everything was normal. I may lose my mind before Monday....

It's probably nothing, though, Ibrin. My mother had a false alarm like that earlier this year.
